Abstract
A basic speed change ratio is set on the basis of vehicle speed and throttle valve opening, and a control target speed change ratio is made to gradually approach the basic speed change ratio in accordance with a speed change speed. Feedback control is then carried out so that the actual speed change ratio coincides with the control target speed change ratio. When there is an up-shift requirement with a rate of change in throttle valve opening equal to or less than a predetermined value, and a rate of change in the basic speed change ratio, which is set on the basis of operating conditions, equal to or less than a predetermined value, the speed change speed is faster than at the time of an up-shift requirement with throttle valve closure.
